The drawn-out case involving Antoine Quirin and Nicolas Redouane was widely followed and stoked claims of impunity for the security forces.They admitted to bringing Ms Emily Spanton to their offices following a night of drinking in April 2014, though they insisted the sex was consensual.
Investigators found traces of DNA from three men on her underwear, and a medical examination found Emily had suffered a traumatic gynaecological injury, but a third suspect was never found. Tests also revealed that Ms Stanton had taken anti-depressant medication, opiates and cannabis that night. Defence lawyers reiterated at the appeals trial in Creteil, outside Paris, that Ms Spanton's allegations had"shifted" on several occasions and claimed she had"lied" about what happened that night.
